Not singling you out as I have seen the "wanted something else" stated several times, but why are people spending hundreds on something that they don't 100% want?
As for my last purchase I had lunch at Portillo's yesterday. It was delicious as always.

I'm jealous.
This came in the other day. Not exactly blown away. No focus issues but severe chromatic aberration, and bright background highlights bleed a lot; tons of bloom around white highlights, making things look hazy and soft. Considering getting the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G instead...

That sounds bad. I don't have those issues except for some purple fringing at f/1.4. It's weid because I've got the same issue with my Nikon 35mm 1.8.
That's exactly what lateral chromatic aberration is. It happens a lot when shooting wide open. I notice it on my 35mm as well, but it's not nearly as bad as the Sigma at 1.4, obviously. The thing that bugs me the most is the softness/bloominess of highlights, which happens all the way up to f2.8, even.
Florence and the Machine tickets for Fourth of July!!!
Reserved section Row S Seats 5-6... not amazing but definitely going to be enjoyable.

Sigma isn't known for producing great glass with their smaller lenses... I had a 70-300 that was always soft no matter what.
Bought this MBA Rev. A off CL for $200 with broken hinges, sent in to apple for repair and they replaced everything except the battery and keys on the keyboard! everything else is brand new.
That is an awesome deal!
I liked that movie a lot! It was good.
With a focal length like that, it's pretty difficult to find a third-party lens that won't front/back focus. I purchased a new filter (ridiculously expensive since the filter thread is 77mm, but I've got a wide angle I can use it for anyway), and I think I'll keep the Sigma, as I tested a Nikon 50mm f1.4g which seemed to suffer from some similar issues particularly wide open. Sort of defeats the purpose of purchasing the 1.4 over the 1.8 for me, but oh well.
Last night I saw Battle LA:not bad. Pretty good IMO.
Got a large popcorn and a bag of skittles.
Today I went to the gap outlet/clearance store. Only spent $27!

Saw Battle L.A. with the girlfriend. More than a little disappointed. The first 40 minutes or so of the movie were fun. Then the Hollywood cheeseball lines (worse than usual) started to ruin everything. Began to get sleepy about halfway through.
+1; took my g/f to see this as well and couldn't agree more. This movie has EVERY overused army and war movie cliche I think I've ever heard of/seen. Played like a 90 minute commercial for the Marines; shaky cam was horrendous too, meh...
All that being said however, how cool was it to see the 'Amblin Entertainment' logo pop up for Super 8? Can't wait for that one!!

I wanted to try some mice out since I can be on computers for 14hrs a day at both work and home. Oh how I love the travel days (none are my pics)
Both are wireless, however the RAT 9 uses a usb receiver and the Razer is bluetooth and USB.
Then another router to use DD-WRT:
Netgear WNDR-3700v2

My last real purchase aside from some gas. My first iPad! They only had a white one left so I got it seeing as I don't really care about the color. It's a white 32GB Wi-Fi.

I'm getting the 16gb white. I'm jealous you have yours! Ordering it tomorrow night when a lens I have on eBay sells. I am selling a Canon 24-70L and it's at 910$ right now with 16 hours left. The Sigma and iPad are almost paid for. I'm really excited for the wider aperture and the iPad for business reasons.
